How Does Roof Damage Happen?

There are many reasons that a roof may need repair due to damage. In NJ, one of the biggest reasons why roofs get damaged is due to severe weather such as snowstorms, heavy rainfall, and huge wind gusts. Another major reason roofs need to be repaired is simply due to lack of maintenance such as having your roof regularly inspected by a roofing contractor.

Carrying out regular inspections on your roof will help prevent any minor damage which can escalate into a major, costly problem to fix. You can avoid a roof replacement by maintaining your roof with regular roof repair services so it remains in good condition.

The most common causes of roof damage include:

Severe weather such as snowstorms, hail, tropical storms and hurricanes

Ice dam buildup

Lack of maintenance

Debris in the gutter

Improper installation of skylights

Chimney flashing

Roof valley debris

Cracked vent booting

Broken shingles

Cracked chimney

Condensation in your attic

Roof Leaks

Worn-down roofing materials

Structural damage

Too much foot traffic

In many cases, roof damage starts off minor and if caught early needs only minor repairs. However, many people do not catch their roof damage early or simply ignore it allowing the damage to expand in size and require more substantial repairs or, in some cases, complete roof replacement.
